The Long-Range Engagement Weapon (LREW) is a US Air Force concept for a next-generation beyond visual range air-to-air missile. Concept images shows a large, two-stage missile launched from an internal weapons bay of an F-22 Raptor. There have been some reports that the LREW is too big to fit in the F-22 or F-35 internal weapons bay and is suited for the F-15EX Eagle II or B-21 Raider. It is currently being developed by Raytheon. This program is separate from Raytheon's own AIM-174 very long-range air-to-air missile as well as from the AIM-260 JATM, developed by Lockheed Martin.
